This shockingly affordable tennis bracelet will add an understated, lovely polish to your outfits all year long.
1. A pair of luxe retro-style oval sunglasses giving Miu Miu vibes without the $489 price tag. The devil's in the chic details on this one, including the little gold embellishments on the sides and the nostalgic shape of the lenses, which are softer than the typical skinny oval lens.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They're lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I've received so many compliments already. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to add a chic accessory to their collection!" — Arsalan sheikh
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five styles and two packs).
2. Mixsoon Bean SPF 50 Sunscreen with an ~airy~ texture, making this K-beauty staple perfect for anyone who loves a good SPF but hates the icky sticky feeling of it. This feather-light, hydrating sunscreen plays so well with makeup that it's about to become the primer of your ✨dreams✨.
www.amazon.com
Psst — you might recognize the brand because it's behind the TikTok-famous "glass skin" staple, Mixsoon Bean Essence Serum!
Get it from Amazon for $15.
3. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~!
Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry.
Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
4. A tinted lip balm so close to the same magic as " Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect.
I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!
Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can't be beat, so I'm buying more." — HAC
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both!).
5. And Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Lip Tint gives you an oh-so-pillowy matte pout that refuses! to! quit! no matter what you throw at it during the day. Reviewers mention that this is a great "everyday" matte, giving a velvety, well-pigmented look without being too dramatic.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have been on a hunt for The Lipstick for my 20 plus years of wearing makeup. Regular lipstick comes off in minutes because I'm chugging water all day. Matte long stay just settles into every lip crack and looks terrible. This is the first and only long-stay lipstick that doesn't settle into cracks and dry down. I think because it's a slightly thicker consistency — not quite glossy, more like a thick balm so it glides over lip cracks. I have just about every color — I'm really hoping they come out with a rusty red." — Kate Lynch
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in ten shades).
6. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀.
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $4.78 (available in two styles).
7. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black.
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
8. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder so effective that reviewers gleefully compare it to the $68 Dermalogica version. This gentle, foaming powder is formulated with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts, and should be used three to four times weekly to help gently break down dead skin cells for a brighter, more refreshed flow.
Amazon
Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.
To use the powder, mix a teaspoon with a few drops of water until it foams, then massage in gentle circles on your face before rinsing.
Promising review: "This is the best thing since sliced bread. I am on bottle number three. My face routine is forever changed. I pray they never raise their prices. This is akin to Dermoligica, but like half the price. Get it, don't hesitate." — Chris
Get it from Amazon for $16.
9. A simple faux-diamond tennis bracelet to add a touch of sophistication to any outfit without the price of name-brand versions like Swarovski (even though reviewers agree this looks like the Real Deal 👀).
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters
For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my "daily wear" jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in four colors, two styles, and three sizes).
10. And a dainty gold-plated station necklace, another home run from jewelry brand Pavoi so close to the real diamond versions from Quince and Dorsey that run $400+ that it'll turn all your everyday looks into ~quietly expensive~ looks.
Amazon
Promising review: "I bought this before I was gifted the Dorsey necklace and they are almost identical. If you don't want to spend $$$ on the Dorsey necklace, this is a great option." — Bianca
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and three other styles).
11. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn't worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus, you can't beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that's been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" — BB
Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets!
Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60.
12. Cosrx Advanced Snail Mucin Glass Glow Hydrogel Face Masks, the overnight face mask version of the internet's wildly beloved hydration serum, Snail Mucin Essence. This mask visibly absorbs within a few hours to become transparent over your skin, packing it with 25% snail secretion filtrate, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide for a deeeeep hydration that visibly plumps and brightens your complexion to give it that "glass skin" effect.
Promising review: "I don't write a lot of reviews, but I have been looking for something like this mask for a very long time! My skin is glowing! I left it on all night, and now it's mid-day, and my skin still looks and feels amazing, even with makeup over it! I love this brand and all its products! I'm 46 and trying to fight aging, and Corsx is the most cost-effective and gives the best results! This mask was thick, stayed on all night and I'm a side sleeper, and I woke up to what felt like new skin! It's amazing! For the price, it's definitely worth it!!!" — Babe03
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15.
13. A set of classic bamboo mini crew socks giving "cozy, but sophisticated." These are soft and breathable without being overly bulky, making them *fashion's kiss* perfect to pair with Uggs, Birkenstocks, and an elevated sneaker.
Amazon
Promising review:"These socks feel soooo luxurious!! I've washed them a few time already and they still are very soft, and look brand new." — Amazon Customer
Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99 (available in eight styles of packs).
14. Tree Hut Vanilla Hand Wash infused with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to help hydrate and restore skin health so your hands can be super clean *and* super nourished. Now all you have to do is prepare to have the link to this handy whenever guests come over and are like, "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS DELECTABLE SOAP??"
Amazon
Promising review: "Really great hand wash! I really can't believe it is so inexpensive. Enjoy." — Shar XO
Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in five scents, including the brand new Lotus Water!).
15. A pair of pretty pastel wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price.
iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories.
I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point.
Promising review: "These headphones surprised me. I thought they were not going to be as great because of how cheap they are, but the bass is amazing! The noise cancellation is so good that I can't hear anything. The volume is loud and sound quality is a win, and just how I like it. Very snug and comfy, recommend! Thanks TikTok, lol :)." — Chevelle Revero
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).
16. Londontown "Nail Veil" Protectant, which is designed not only to protect your nails, but to act as a sheer tint to enhance their natural look. It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails, and will save you BANK on costly manicures looking for the same effect.
Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products.
Promising review: "This nail veil is so pretty and perfect for a simple, bare nail look! It applies very smoothly, and one to two coats work well. With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand's use of healthier, higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren't left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don't have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!" — Sofia K
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in nine shades).
17. E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter that looked at the iconic (and expensive) Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter and said, "Game on, pal." Not only does this give that dewy, soft, "barely there" finish, but it's designed to hydrate your skin with hyaluronic acid, helping improve your moisture barrier for longterm glowiness, too.
Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I've gone through three bottles. Adds the perfect glow to your skin! Sometimes I use it under foundation and sometimes I use it solo with a bit of concealer. I will never not repurchase it for the price and how beautifully it sits on the skin. This stuff is viral for a reason!!" — mapagill
"If you like Charlotte Tilbury, flawless filter this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better, [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a more warm/yellow undertone which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it, you will be happy you did!" — Amazonreview
Get it from Amazon for $13.11+ (available in 12 shades).
18. Tree Hut's iconic Moroccan Rose Whipped Shea Body Butter, aka *the* way to keep your skin hydrated, glowy, and nourished while also smelling like you stepped out of a garden in an early era Taylor Swift music video.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product is amazing. It moisturizes the skin without feeling sticky or too thick. Also, the fragrance lasts for hours." — Megan
Get it from Amazon for $7.94.
19. A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles).
20. Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion to give you a gradually-building, vacation-worthy ~sunkissed glow~ over the course of just a few days. Not only is this easy peasy to apply compared to other finickier, streaking lotions, but it's formulated with collagen and elastin to help your skin appear firmer *and* glowier.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm really impressed with this product. It's very easy to apply, the same way you would any lotion. It absorbs quickly into the skin. There is a very light, pleasant, fragrance. I had no issues with application or streaks. The tanning lotion gives a nice bronze appearance to the skin which is what I was looking for. The sunless tanner allows you to continue to build the color until you reach your desired look." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.47 (available in Fair to Medium, Medium to Deep, and several sizes).
21. A pair of ~Dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align ... but WAY cheaper. If you're looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these.
I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that for some reason I am always comfier in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear leggings, and I'm happy to report after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too.
Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson
Get them from Amazon for $29 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles).
22. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum, aka humidity's WORST ENEMY. 😈 This super lightweight argan oil solution is designed for all hair types to help manage frizz and define waves and curls without weighing them down, and will be the MVP in your hair arsenal in the warmer temps — especially considering how costly competitive serums are!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I've struggled with frizzy hair for years, but this has been a game-changer for me. A few drops of this lightweight serum applied to damp hair before styling tames frizz instantly, leaving my hair smooth, shiny, and incredibly manageable. The argan oil infusion adds a touch of nourishment and helps to prevent future frizz. I'm so happy I finally found a product that actually works to control my unruly hair!" — Kleo
Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (also available in larger sizes and multipacks).
23. A set of decadently cooling bamboo bed sheets so soft, breathable, and lovely that you'll be like, "Wait — am I in a White Lotus hotel??" Hot sleepers especially swear by these, and reviewers love how durable they are and how nicely they drape on mattresses. All of the luxury of being a rich person on an HBO drama, without any exorbitant prices (or murder!).
Promising review:"I have a medical condition that makes my skin VERY sensitive to fabrics and I am a hot sleeper. I can't tell you the number of sheets I buy in a year that I have to return because I feel like my skin is on fire when I lay on them. These sheets are heaven sent!!! I will never buy any others. They are so soft, very comfortable and keep me cool all night long. They wash very nicely but tend to wrinkle if you don't get them out of the dryer right away. But once I stretch them out on the bed the wrinkles tend to go away. The quality of the fabric is exceptional and not cheaply made. They are a great value for the money as I have spent way more for way less quality. I would highly recommend!!" — bobsbaby406
Get it from Amazon for $36.09+ (available in sizes Twin–California king and 22 colors).
24. And a set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep. Reviewers especially love these because they're an affordable alternative to ones that typically run $18 per case!
Amazon
Promising review:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key
"These are really nice — perfect price point too. There's no difference between these and the same pillowcases from Kitsch at three times the price." — Keri
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 22 colors and four sizes).
25. The Ordinary's Multi-Depth Hydration Serum to achieve that "glassy," plumped effect *without* breaking the whole bank. This delightfully affordable, super effective serum helps hydrate and protect your skin barrier so you wake up with firm, refreshed skin.
Promising review:"Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" — Rina
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
26. A ridiculously versatile minimalist nylon tote bag for fans of Longchamp's Le Pliage bag who perhaps do not feel responsible enough to own the real deal, knowing how messy and chaotic everyday life and travel plans can get. This version is a dead ringer for the name brand, and reviewers adore that it's nearly waterproof and super comfortable to sling over your shoulder.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought this for a trip to Italy and used it the entire three weeks. Perfect!!! It's waterproof and large enough, has pockets where you need them, and even a place to attach keys. The handles are long enough that it's comfortable over your shoulder! Some are too small. It zips for security! Stylish! Can't say enough good things about this bag!!" — EWC
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors).
27. An oh-so-classic pair of slip-on pointed toe ballet flats reviewers *love* as a cheaper alternative to the beloved Vivaia and Rothy's version, especially since these are also designed for all-day wear without any painful break-in periods.
Promising review:"They are SO comfortable and breathable, and my poor footsies are ruined from wearing heels every day when I was younger. These look fabulous and feel great. What a great find! I'm gonna have to buy them in another color now." — JeGo
"I love these shoes. So comfortable and stylish AND the dreaded stinky flats can be avoided as they are fully washable. I've washed them several times now and they come out looking brand new every time." — Marie
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 14 styles).
28. A set of square stemmed wineglasses inspired by the iconic Crate & Barrel version, except these are durable as heck (good for particularly rowdy wine-and-cheese nights). Reviewers especially love these chic, understated glasses because they work well for red and white wines.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B
Get a set of two from Amazon for $29.99.
29. An Anthropologie-inspired reversible quilted throw blanket you can get in all kinds of fun, lively sprints that will startle your boring couch into having a personality, or give your bed a *much* needed reset after a long dreary winter.
Promising review: "Wow wow wow!!! 🤩 This blanket is so soft and the colors and image is so vibrant! The material is great. Lightweight but also snuggly weighted, I don't know how to describe it. I almost bought the one from Anthropologie, but this is exactly like it way less price! I think I'll be gifting a few of these because they are so nice!" — Amy
Get it from Amazon for $27.74 (available in 14 styles).
30. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's Santal 33, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it. If you're in the market for a signature scent for your space this fall, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend.
www.amazon.com
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" — Cristina Bertolotto
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).
32. A chic structured toiletry organizer with a "window" so you can look inside and easily access whatever you need on the go. Reviewers especially love how the structure of it stops items like beauty products or medications from getting crushed inside (and that it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the $100 Truffle Clarity version).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers also use this for "emergency kits" for their car!
Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase in awhile. The bag is TSA-compliant which was the most important thing for me, but it is also well made, very sturdy, and the shape of it makes it easy to organize my liquids by laying them down rather than forcing them all to stand up. Even the packaging was beautiful. 10/10 would recommend." — RZ
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five sizes and four colors).
33. A set of hypoallergenic gold-plated earrings you can mix and match to your aesthetic's content. Reviewers love how well these hold up over time, especially given the price!
Amazon
Promising review:"Love these huggies. So cute and so many people ask where I got them. Love that each one has a different design. The closure on it is fabulous, it clicks in. I have been wearing them for a few months now even in the shower and no tarnishing." — Nicole Forbeck
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 for a set of three (also available in five other sets).
34. A machine! washable!! vintage-inspired area rug to elevate any space in your home, with the added benefit of protecting your floors and muffling noises. Not only are these durable enough for your busiest rooms like the kitchen, living room, or entry hall, but they're designed to be thin enough to go right into the washer for an easy clean.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Absolutely beautiful! This rug is super soft and so easy to clean. As a mom of three who has an indoor pet, this rug is great for the dining room or any other area of the house." — Marsha
Get it from Amazon for $11.04+ (available in 11 shapes and sizes, and in seven styles).
35. Kitsch's iconic claw clip, well-known for its delicate style and strong, sturdy clamp suitable for all hair types. Yes, it's more expensive than the cheaper sets you can get out there, but this is actually built to last and has specially rounded teeth to prevent hair damage.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review:"Love that you can dress this up or down! It is my go-to accessory for working in preschool to put my hair up quickly. It is elegant and classic. It is amazingly durable even in getting thrown in the bottom of my heavy work bag! I am amazed by this clip. I have coarse medium thick hair and it is the perfect size." — Niki
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
36. A set of espresso martini instant cocktail tea bags — all the sophistication of tea, the zing! of coffee, and the 😜 of a cheeky cocktail. All you have to do is add three ounces of cold water, 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, and the tea sachet into a glass, and you'll have a delicious (far more AFFORDABLE!!) cocktail in one minute.
www.amazon.com
Sayso is a small woman-owned business that specializes in the first-ever cocktail tea bag, perfect for cocktails *and* mocktails.

The taste is great and the bags make it incredibly easy to mix up what would otherwise be complex cocktails quickly and easily. I've had the spicy marg, espresso martini, and old fashioned versions, and while they aren't exactly the same as the original they are wonderful for making yourself a cocktail at home. Highly recommend." — Meredith

Trump on Sydney Sweeney controversy: If she's Republican ‘I think her ad is fantastic'
President Trump on Sunday weighed in on actor Sydney Sweeney and her recent controversial ad campaign with American Eagle. 'You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans,' the president said after a reporter stated that the 'White Lotus' and 'Euphoria' star is a registered Republican. 'That's what I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic,' the president said while en route back to Washington on Sunday evening from Bedminster, N.J. BuzzFeed reported over the weekend that Sweeney has been registered to the Republican Party of Florida since June 2024. The ad featuring Sweeney has caused backlash online, with social media users criticizing what they claim are racist undertones surrounding the campaign's message that Sweeney 'has great jeans,' a riff on the idea of 'good genes.' 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,' Sweeney says in one video. 'My jeans are blue.' Vice President Vance mocked critics of the ad in a recent interview, blaming Democrats for those who argue the commercial backs eugenics. 'So you have a pretty girl doing a jeans ad and they can't help but freak out. It reveals a lot more about them than it does us. No question,' Vance said on the 'Ruthless Podcast.' White House communications director Steven Cheung pointed to the backlash as an example of 'cancel culture run amok.'

YouTube Experiments With New Display of Collaborators on Clips
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. YouTube's testing a new option that will enable creators to add collaborators to the video title display, in order to help showcase a broader range of creators across its clips. As explained by YouTube: 'We're starting to test a feature that allows creators to add collaborators to a video. Adding collaborators allows content to be recommended to each of the creators' audiences. We're starting this test with a small group of creators at first, but we'll keep you posted on our plans to expand it to more creators.' As you can see in this example from the latest video posted by MrBeast, the new option will display collaborators on a video both via their channel avatars, which will be stacked alongside each other, and within the creator listing beneath the title. Tap on the '…and 3 more' tag and you'll get a full title listing of the channels that have collaborated on the clip. The option is similar to the collaborative tools available on Instagram or TikTok, providing a simple way to showcase a partner profile within the video description. Which could be a valuable connector and promotional tool, providing a more direct link through to collaborating channels, which could see more traffic headed their way, especially if they collaborate with a bigger channel. It's worth noting, however, that YouTube has been encouraging creator collaborations for years, with its YouTube Academy training resource including a whole segment on collaborating with others, and how to do so effectively. So collaborations, in themselves, are not new, but YouTube's looking for a better way to highlight these partnerships within the content itself, so that creators get equal share of the benefits from their shared clips. And it's a logical, simple way to do this, which people are already used to in other apps. As such, this seems very likely to be expanded to all YouTube channels in the near future.

Classic dress you could wear for a lifetime." —KelarooPrice: $17.99+ ( available in sizes S–XL and in 11 colors) A lace mini dress just as cute from the back as it is from the front.

I loved the retro look of this dress and thought it was too cheap and cute not to try. This was a win, and I got so many compliments on this dress that even some of my friends bought one. It wasn't too short, which is always a plus! It was below my knees and long enough for me to wear heels with. It did not show any wrinkles from sitting that night either, which is also huge! I would definitely recommend this product, and already have!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 18 colors) A super versatile V-neck midi dress that strikes the perfect balance of comfy (hiii jersey fabric!) and chic.

I layered a black and white long swimsuit cover-up over it, and it was stunning! I got so many compliments. I also like the slightly longer length in the back. It makes it feel a little more dressy!" —Jeff $10+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, two fabrics, and in 11 colors) A stunning ombre maxi dress because it looks like a vibrant painting come to life... so yes, people will likely stop, stare, contemplate your beauty, and maybe even wonder why you're not on display in the Louvre (jk jk). 😍 Oh, and it's also available in a bunch of other colors and patterns, including solids. Promising review: "I love this dress. I get compliments everywhere I go. It's buttery soft. Bodice fits my DDD top in a perfect way. It offers plenty of coverage with the adjustable straps. It's not see-through. It is just a fun and happy dress. You can dress it up or keep it simple. Colors are beautiful" —ABPrice: $29.99+ (available in sizes S–5X and in 40 colors and patterns) A wrap V-neck swing dress with thick straps so you can twirl the night away with confidence and grace without stopping every five seconds to adjust a strapless bra... because it's hard to focus on all the nice things people are saying to you when you're busy doing that.

I love the weight of the fabric too." —sk94Price: $18.96+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 14 colors) A deep-V faux-wrap dress because even though it looks like it's made from a super elegant material that would be uncomfy to wear all day, it's actually a soft and stretchy cotton blend. All the comfort and all the compliments! Promising review: "I love these dresses. I purchased a black one a year ago and continuously receive compliments whenever I wear it.

I am normally all for buying a variety of styles in clothing, but I have come back and bought 5 of these dresses over the past year. Lol. They breathe well in the heat, come with POCKETS, and are just so comfortable. They can be worn in the winter with a sweater as well. I do not have to wear a slip under them; they are thick enough that it is not needed. I receive so many compliments in this dress, from friends and strangers alike. My daughter calls them my 'compliment dress' because I am approached a lot when I am grocery shopping or eating out by strangers who want to know where I bought this dress and how much they like it." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $29.49+ (available in sizes XS–3X and in tons of colors and patterns) A lace cocktail dress if you don't have a lot of fancy jewelry or accessories to pair with your dresses — the delicate lace on this number ~does the work~ all on its own to bring in the compliments.

It was so worth the money, it actually looked like it would be more expensive. The length was good, above the knee. I am glad I got the size I did, it was comfortable, not tight on me at all, and felt amazing all night! So happy I got it!" —VickiPrice: $37.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, three sleeve lengths, and in six colors) A backless number with adjustable spaghetti straps and pockets, so you can soak up as much sun (and compliments!) as possible in the sunny summer weather. Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! I bought this for a wedding that I had back in March, and it was perfect for the occasion. The color was great, and it fit true to size. The straps are adjustable, though, so you can loosen or tighten them. I loved the length of the dress as well as the fact that it had pockets! The best discovery to make in a dress is that it has pockets! I am a D cup and chose not to wear a bra with the dress, and I was comfortable and had no slippage as I danced the night away. I got so many compliments, and everyone thought that I spent well over $100 on this dress, which was great considering it was only $25. This dress is an absolute must!" —F. SteinfeldPrice: $28.44+ (available in sizes XS–XL, and in 11 colors)
